DayZ news, updates: DayZ becomes multiplatform, release date for Xbox One set for 2015

DayZ news: The popular zombie survival game DayZ is coming soon to Xbox One, making it accessible to more gaming platforms.  

"DayZ is definitely going to be a multiplatform title. That's the firm vision from Bohemia's standpoint. But we'll announce what all the other platforms are as we get to that point," reveals DayZ creator Dean Hall.

Industry experts believe multiplatform development is a good move as the widened scope allows developers to add more gaming features which would benefit PC gamers as well.

Hall hints of 2015 release date for DayZ for Xbox One. He adds that the schedule would really depend on whether the game would be an Early Access-type release or not.

DayZ was originally developed for Microsoft Windows by Bohemian Interactive in December 2013. DayZ has been made available only in PS4 since its console version was released in August 2014. Gaming website Gamespot reported that the idea of making DayZ available in other platforms had already been in place months ago.

A multiplayer open world game, DayZ takes place in the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, where an unknown virus has infected the population and has converted them into zombies. As survivors, players must scavenge for supplies and stay alive and well before zombies - or other players - can get to them.

Players are initially equipped with just clothes and a flashlight, and must begin searching houses, barns, and apartments to look for food, water, medicine and weapons.

As of May 2014, DayZ has sold close to 2 million copies.

I'm sure most knew this would come to Xbone also. Confirmation is nice thogh

I don't remember this game being exclusive.

When it was announced to PS4 at Gamecom the devs said they are in talk with MS to bring the Xbone version (Dean said at time MS was being a bit rude with them and not very cooperative but that his goal was to release in both plataforms).

Uhh what?

Announced... they need to fix the article.

An odd article. The quote they've chosen is:

"DayZ is definitely going to be a multiplatform title. That's the firm vision from Bohemia's standpoint. But we'll announce what all the other platforms are as we get to that point," reveals DayZ creator Dean Hall."

That's... saying it's coming to other platforms. Doesn't say which platforms.

It seems to be just re-posting 12-days-old news, too:

I'd agree that it's "hinting" at an XB1 release, but he's not said it's coming to XB1. Changing title for now.

Don't want to be that guy, but how exactly have you extrapolated the thread title from this article? Couldn't PC and PlayStation 4 be classed as "multi-platform"? Nowhere does it say that the game is ever coming to the Xbox, nor is it really hinted at. Great news if it is, but this article says nothing.

There is a lot of mistakes... the article says the PS4 version is already launched for example.

Ohhhh and of course the devs said it will come to Xbone since begining and that MS was being a bit rude and not cooperating with that.
